Today I read over a two books that my mentor had given me. They're called the Practical Guide to Juvenile Law. One book was from 1997 and another is from 2009. He gave them to me so I can compare the two and observe how much has changed in 10+ years. It was pretty interesting to read because things are pretty different from 1997. One thing that I can name that's different is the age limit as to what age you can arrest someone. My mentor actually told me that he defended a seven year old kid once before because he was convicted of a crime. Its so overwhelming how young a child can be to commit a crime. That seven year old child was in prison for at least 7 years or so.
Reading is a pretty big obstacle for me to overcome. I don't really enjoy it and I get really sleepy. I have to find other ways to keep myself up, but then again, I also have to adapt to the fact that I have get used to reading a lot if I really do want to pursue the career of becoming a lawyer. Total Time: 26 hours
